I've sometimes had luck with the CPU and cooler out, twisting the cpu body LIGHTLY while holding the cooler. Sometimes that breaks the 'vacuum lock' of the thermal grease just enough to separate the two. Be sure the twist is in the plane of the cpu and hold it by its body; do not get close to...
I am helping a charity group who were donated a Toshiba Satellite 1415-S105 laptop. It would not start up on battery nor with the AC adaptor. On the AC adaptor, the power light comes up green and if the battery is installed, the battery charging light comes on (yellow). When using the start...

You need to put out more info for folks to help you here.
How do you know the ram slots don't work?
When / how did the audio go out? Using a sound board or are you referring to the onboard sound?

Some thoughts:
1) The 2-4 slots (orange) work best we are told...
Tratz Did you ever get your memory problems sorted out? I have a new LanParty nF4 Ultra-D on the way and want to learn as much as I can about install and startup errors/fixes before I try to put it togehter this weekend.
Anyone else have any other issues for this Mobo (other than chipset...
Thx. I am not familiar with 9600se system but assume it is a powerful GPU, therefor the only gain is due to the nearly double processor speed. That leads me to belive I should not only take your rec of a 128 card but might want to upgrade beyong 1gB of ram???
Not a gamer. Do a lot of Photoshop editing, non-pro light duty mostly retouching old photos etc. Need a new PCI-E card, prefer nVidia, current GeForce MX440 card is fine, but AGP and am getting a new Mobo that requires PCIE.
I've found that with my old mobo and AMD +3200 I needed a minimum...
I saved the settings from my Office2003 installation on my work PC and it created a file called New Settings.ops using the "Save my settings" option in the tools supplied with Office2003
Believing the Microsoft description that I could then restore this group of settings to a new machine, I ran...
Thanks for the advice, Corkyg. Unfortunately I was out of country and didn't see it until just now. How can I test for those Delayed Write Errors? OR disable write caching?
I am a mechanical engineer who builds PCs for a hobby but not familiar enough with HDD controllers. Can you help...
Another update... guess I din't wait long enough for an answer from AMS. Here is an excerpt from thier reply:
"Venus DS3 (DS-2316SU2BK) is now replaced by a newer and improved Venus DS3
(DS-2316SU2S) based on the Oxford OXU921S chipset. The difference is the external ports now supports both...
Well just to update:
I pulled my usual trick of studying things to death and then being careless when I ordered.
I ended up with a Seagate 300 gB SATA drive, and the Venus enclosure for an IDFE drive.
Had to make a decision which to RMA; sent back the AMS Venus enclosure, kept the SATA drive...
what do you guys make of all the negative posts on the Acronis support website?
Looks to me like there are a lot of unhappy customers out there who thought 9 would be better than 8 and ended up with a buggy release.
Anybody who have run both care to make a comparison on bugs... CorkyG...
Thanks for your help, ribbon.
Stuff should be here Thursday 6th from NE
I'll repost after I gin it up this weekend.
got a pretty good deal on the internal drive from NE but not 'hot' deal
I was kinda leery of a price $50 less at OP(due to RB) for the same drive when I found thier RB form...
Thnx to all
after the copious comments and insight
i decided to order the Seagate 300gB internal OEM drive
and the Venus AMS case. Looked like the best deal overall.
If I can't assemble one of these i have no business building pcs anyway
and it looks like the lowest oa cost, longest...
thx Bob4432
I will just use this in one place, hooked to mymain system, (at least with Acronis) I will backup the other via the network. The only time it will ever get moved is if I have to bug out. Then it will be off, of course.
Went backt o check.. the "anti-shock" case was a 3rd party...
